Um, make that $200,000 - $300,000 (February 2025 estimates via Parent Magazine). That *might* be enough to raise a child until the age of 18 (assuming there is universal health care. If not, add maybe another $100,000?)

States defying #Trump anti-#DEI deadline risk losing education federal funding
The #NAACP and the Legal Defense Fund have filed "a federal lawsuit blasting the Trump administration for a 'legally flawed' interpretation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964."
Story by Mabinty Quarshie, Washington Examiner, April 22, 2025
Excerpt: "In total, at least 16 states and Puerto Rico intend to sign the certification, according to Education Weekly, while 16 states have declined to sign.
"Many of the states that have flat out refused to sign the order by citing their commitment to DEI policies are led by Democratic governors.
"Among those states are New York, the first state to publicly thumb its nose at the certification request, Colorado, Washington, Minnesota, Oregon, Wisconsin, Vermont, and Utah, with the latter two states having Republican governors.
[...]
"In Fiscal Year 2022, federal funding accounted for 14% of K-12 education funding. State and local funding provided 87% of K-12 funding.
"In fiscal 2024, the Department of Education spent $18.8 billion for schools with large numbers of #poor, neglected, delinquent, and other '#EducationallyDisadvantaged' students, as well as $55 billion in COVID-19 grants to #PreK programs, elementary, and secondary schools, according to Pew Research Center.
"Should the Department of Education strip states of federal funding, it could force cuts during the 2025-2026 school year."

60,000 Americans to lose their rental assistance and risk eviction unless Congress acts
By JESSE BEDAYN, April 21, 2025
"Moments after Daniris Espinal walked into her new apartment in Brooklyn, she prayed. In ensuing nights, she would awaken and touch the walls for reassurance — finding in them a relief that turned to tears over her morning coffee.
"Those walls were possible through a federal program that pays rent for some 60,000 families and individuals fleeing #homelessness or #DomesticViolence. Espinal was fleeing both.
"But the program, #EmergencyHousingVouchers, is running out of money — and quickly.
"Funding is expected to be used up by the end of next year, according to a letter from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and obtained by The Associated Press. That would leave tens of thousands across the country scrambling to pay their rent.
"It would be among the largest one-time losses of #RentalAssistance in the U.S., analysts say, and the ensuing evictions could churn these people — after several years of rebuilding their lives — back onto the street or back into abusive relationships."

#Maine governor criticizes #Trump administration for freezing funds amid #transgender athlete dispute: ‘It’s not rational’
By Alyssa Vega Globe Staff,Updated April 14, 2025
"Maine #GovernorJanetMills criticized the Trump administration on Monday just days after it moved to cut all federal #education funding to the state. The move came in response to Maine’s refusal to enforce the administration’s directive to ban transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports.
In an interview on MSNBC’s 'Morning Joe' Monday, Mills said the state received a series of letters from federal agencies, culminating in an April 2 letter from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, which the Maine governor described as 'appalling' in tone and substance. Mills said the next day Rollins threatened to pull all education funding to the state.
" 'Because there are maybe two — at most — two transgender athletes competing in Maine schools right now, they decided to shut off funding for our school nutrition program, the school lunch program entirely, on which 172,000 Maine school #children rely for their school meals. That didn’t make any sense,' Mills said. "
